Yotie The nickel and dime are correct in 70 there was no philly nickel minted so they put the "s" nickel and penny in with the philly stuff. The quarter on the other hand should have been a philly(no mm). Just checked this against my 70 mint set (small s). I had a similar issue with State Quarters (2 of the same state in packaging therefore I was missing one state) only it was the same mint. I have never heard of cross mint errors. I don't know if the coins were shipped somewhere and packaged back then or not? They would have at least had to ship the "s" mint coins to philly. Someone who knows more about how the mint packaged items back then may come along and clue us in. Kie |

Pending on where you got that set I'd wonder if someone was just having fun.

Is that the correct shade of Blue for the Philliy mint ? All mine are very much darker blue.

Just means the original mint set had a packaging error. Intact sets with similar packaging errors normally bring a small premium of a dollar or two unless sold on ebay with excessive hype. In those cases they can bring stupid money from the unknowledgeable. |
